Alimony Reform Not Happening in 2017

According to the Sun Sentinel, Senate Children, Families and Elder Affairs Chairman Rene Garcia said he won’t schedule the bill for a hearing effectively killing any chance of Alimony Reform occurring in Florida this year.

“We have more pressing issues that we’re dealing with as it relates to the safety and welfare of children than to tie up the committee with the alimony bill at this time,” Garcia, R-Hialeah, told The News Service of Florida on Thursday, March 29, 2017.
